From Instragam - "Living history: Patricia Mountbatten was born in 1924 into a dazzling dynasty as a great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, a great niece of Russia’s last Tsarina, first cousin to Prince Philip and the daughter of Britain’s last Viceroy of India. On 24 March, over 350 lots from her collection will be offered, including a selection of jewels passed down over centuries.
Pictured here is a late 18th century brooch with a cushion-shaped yellow diamond given to explorer and botanist Joseph Banks by his eccentric sister Sarah around the time of his marriage in 1779. Originally gifted to his wife Dorothea, it passed to her sister Mary, Lady Knatchbull, until finally to Patricia's husband John Brabourne and its last wearer, Patricia"
